This review explores the detrimental effects of sunlight on the skin’s circadian rhythm and photodamage, noting the potential of natural cosmeceuticals to influence this rhythm, but reports no new results.

This study reports a case of alopecia areata affecting the eyebrow and eyelash in a female patient after starting acitretin therapy for psoriasis.

This study diagnosed a group of six girls with various ectodermal abnormalities, identifying cranio-skeletal malformations consistent with focal dermal hypoplasia (Goltz syndrome), and found heterozygous mutations in the PORCN gene in two children.

Platelet-rich plasma does not improve recovery after Achilles tendon surgery.

This study found that 72.6% of patients with alopecia areata used social media to gain information about their condition, underscoring the importance of clinician involvement on such platforms to ensure accurate information dissemination.

In this study, seborrheic dermatitis was most prevalent among middle-aged adults and men, with patient presentations peaking during the winter months.

This study found that children with alopecia areata had more neglectful family environments and higher levels of anxiety and depression compared to healthy control peers, suggesting a psychosomatic component to the condition.

This case report suggests that topical diphenylcyclopropenone (DPCP) may be beneficial for treating both alopecia areata and verruca vulgaris, although it is not typically a first-line therapy.

A woman's scalp infection caused by a fungus led to permanent hair loss and was hard to treat but responded to a specific antifungal.

This study observed that nearly 70% of children with treatment-resistant alopecia areata had nail involvement, primarily pitting, and this was significantly associated with longer disease duration but not disease severity.

PLGA-based microneedles show promise for painless, long-term drug delivery but need design and safety improvements.

In this study, an unexpected premature birth of two goat kids occurred following prostaglandin administration in a timed artificial insemination protocol, with both kids exhibiting congenital abnormalities such as laryngotracheal swelling and generalized alopecia.

This study observed that children with alopecia areata had higher anxiety and depression scores, and their families showed more neglectful parenting styles compared to healthy controls.

The wolves suspected of man-eating in the 1880s likely ate very little human flesh and mostly consumed a diet similar to herbivores and omnivores.

This study demonstrated that aqueous and hydroethanolic extracts of Catharanthus roseus and Schwenckia americana showed no acute oral toxicity at the tested dose in rats, although histological changes in kidney and liver tissues were observed.

This case report highlights that Demodex folliculitis in an immunocompromised patient can result in severe and widespread eruptions, which were effectively treated with oral ivermectin and topical permethrin.

This article reviews alopecia areata as a chronic autoimmune disease affecting hair follicles and discusses its association with other autoimmune conditions, but provides no new clinical findings.

This study found that eyebrow involvement in frontal fibrosing alopecia was more common among postmenopausal females with comorbidities, without a significant link to age or disease duration.

This review discusses trichotillomania and traction alopecia, focusing on their clinical features, diagnostic criteria, and treatment options, but it reports no new research findings.

In this research, the authors identify coordinated mechanical forces as crucial for hair follicle development in mammals, with contractile, proliferative, and proteolytic activities facilitating the formation and sectioning of epithelial structures crucial for forming a functional tissue.

In this study conducted among healthy Iranian girls in Isfahan province, researchers found that the median onset age for menstruation was 12.05 years, breast development began at 9.89 years, and pubic hair development started at 10.14 years, with earlier puberty onset potentially indicating precocious puberty.

In this case report, the patient was diagnosed with oral lichen sclerosus following a detailed clinical and histological examination and referral to dermatology, and it underscores the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in managing this rare condition and its associated risks.

This study found that the retinol dehydrogenases SDR16C5 and SDR16C6 in mice play a crucial role in skin retinol dehydrogenase activity, affecting hair growth and gland functions without impacting survival.

This study suggests that Ptprq in the hair bundles may exist as multiple isoforms that are differentially expressed throughout development and affect the organization of stereocilia in the chick inner ear.

In this study, reversible ageusia in a patient was strongly suggested to be caused by losartan, with potential implications for angiotensin receptor involvement in taste disturbance.

This study suggests that vitamin A may inhibit hair follicle stem cells during refractory telogen in a dose-dependent manner, based on retinyl ester levels and vitamin A metabolism protein localization in mice.

In this study, hair density and thickness in nonbalding scalp areas varied with the severity and BASP subtypes of androgenetic alopecia in East Asian men, showing notable decreases in some subtypes.

This study found that chitosan nanoparticles containing Cordyceps militaris effectively reduced lung damage in mice exposed to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) by decreasing oxidative stress and preserving lung barrier integrity, suggesting potential as a therapeutic candidate for PM2.5-induced lung diseases.

The researchers reported that disrupting ATRA signaling by deleting RDHE genes in the hair follicle led to altered hair follicle cycles, composition, and gene expression, indicating RDHEs' role in hair follicle signaling coordination.
